Last week and came up with a GAME plan to help myself integrate technology to better meet the needs of my students. I have been looking into each part of my plan and I am trying to find ways to best implement and achieve the goals in my plan.
In order for me to facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity, I need to use my learning from these masters courses. By learning about more technology tools that I can integrate into my classroom, my students will be more motivated and enthusiastic about learning. I have also been doing a lot of searching on the Internet to help me find more lessons that can foster creativity in my students. I believe that staying up to date with my learning and using the resources I have around me will help me to create creative lessons that help to encourage creativity in my students. So far, to meet my goal, I have taken these masters classes which have helped me to learn about new technology tools and I have begun to integrate some new pieces of technology.
Modeling digital age learning and work is the second part of my GAME plan. In order to carry out this part of my plan, I need to again learn more about different technology tools for my classroom. The master’s courses that I am taking are helping me with this part of my plan. Also, I need to give myself time to practice using the programs and asking for assistance from the technology coordinator at my school when needed. To begin implementing this part of my plan, I have picked blogs and VoiceThreads. I have practiced using them and have started to implement them in my classroom. My next step will be to continue to implement these tools, but also to learn more about other pieces of technology.

Mrs. Rogus,
ReplyDeleteI believe that you have a good start for carrying out your GAME plan. You mention that you have choosen blogs and VoiceThreads as tools that you will use in your classroom. How have you implemented these tools in your classroom? I would also like to use these tools in my classroom, but signing up for computer lab time at my school is a major issue. Do you have this issue?
I think continuing to learn about different technology tools is so important as well. Good luck working toward your GAME plan.

I am also researching blogs for one of my goals. Maybe we can share with each other what we have found!
ReplyDeleteAshley - Yes, it is dfficult to find time to use the computer lab with many of the other classrooms wanting to use it as well. I have really tried to be ahead in my planning for scheduling computer lab time and I have done pretty well. I have implemented the blog for the parents in my classroom (I am hoping to start having the students write what has happened during the week instead of me soon) and VoiceThreads for a published story for their writing. They read their writing and drew pictures to go with.
ReplyDeleteDenise - Yes! That would be great. I'll let you know what things I find out soon!
